Editing Movies in Windows Movie Maker

Adding videos to your presentation can help you make certain points have much more impact. That’s why video is one of the most popular topics in the questions people ask me. I have a video training disc that shows you how to incorporate video into your presentation (go here to find out more), but sometimes people want to know more about the free video editor that is built in to Windows called Movie Maker. Microsoft has some training resources available online to help you get started using this great tool.

If you use Windows XP, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/default.mspx

If you use Windows Vista, go to http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ec3fff68-e53c-4168-ae74-8557325e57e21033.mspx

I have found that Movie Maker serves pretty much all the basic needs to get you started using video. Most people don’t even know they have it on their computer, but it can be a great tool when you start including video in your presentations.
